    FYI: If you decide to convert to 12 volts, you can run 12 volts on a 6 volt starter if you find one. Since it’s a complex inductance when it’s spinning, it will not draw twice the current, as Ohms law does not apply, and it will spin much faster giving you fast starts. You will need a 12 volt choke solenoid or a resistor in series with it. Also need a 12 volt starter solenoid – available from Sierra.
